00:00I have an incredible collection of...
00:02I actually know what your most incredible collection of is,
00:04but it's not safe for this conversation, so...
00:06I want to play this game just in regular life.
00:13Hi, my name is Kirsten Vangisness.
00:15And Aisha Tyler, and...
00:16We are playing How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star with Marie Claire.
00:20My favorite movie ever is...
00:23A. Ghostbusters 2.
00:26B. Rushmore.
00:28Or C. Undercover Brother.
00:33Oh, my God. I'm already so delighted by this.
00:37That's a really tough one, but Ghostbusters 2 is not a good film,
00:41and Rushmore is, like, you know, a great film,
00:46but just feels a little twee for you,
00:48so I'm going to go Undercover Brother.
00:52You are... It's very close, and it makes sense.
00:55You are wrong. It is the top three,
00:57so it was difficult.
00:59It was difficult, but Rushmore is what the inside of my brain looks like.
01:04On a very good day, it is my favorite movie.
01:06My first job was selling Red Delicious apples at a flea market,
01:11selling amps to Forlorn Dads at Pacific Stereo,
01:14or as backup singer for Bay Area Supergroup,
01:18Tony, Tony, Tony.
01:19This is tricky, because you could do any of those.
01:22Very, very tricky.
01:24I want it to be three really badly.
01:26It's not three.
01:27It was amps.
01:29Damn it.
01:30All of these things also had, like, some basis in truth.
01:33I definitely was not a backup singer for Bay Area Supergroup,
01:35Tony, Tony, Tony.
01:36I did hang out in a Pacific Stereo quite a bit when I was a kid
01:40because it was right next to my apartment building.
01:41Yes!
01:41And so, inadvertently, I might have been persuasive,
01:45but I sold apples at the flea market.
01:47I had a little stand when I was five,
01:49and I sold them for a quarter.
01:53I have an incredible collection of A, band pins,
01:56B, stickers, or C, cat toys.
01:59D, all of the above.
02:01Incredible.
02:01Oh, man.
02:03Stickers, band pins, or cat toys.
02:06Oh, this is so hard!
02:09I've never seen any of your band pins.
02:13I know you have a lot of band pins,
02:14but I don't feel like I've seen this collection.
02:16You do have an insane number of cat toys.
02:18I actually know what your most incredible collection of is,
02:20but it's not safe for this conversation.
02:22So, um, cat toys?
02:24Band pins.
02:26But, like, you can't walk around like...
02:27Why have I ever seen a band pin?
02:28Not one band pin.
02:29You just don't look.
02:30They're always on a jacket.
02:32I've got, like, every band we've mentioned I have,
02:35including, like, random Saturday Night Live spoof bands
02:38that don't exist.
02:39My first concert was
02:40A, Tracy Chapman and the Indigo Girls,
02:43B, Prince and Vanity Six,
02:47or C, the Scorpions and Bon Jovi.
02:50Oh!
02:51Oh!
02:53I know for a fact
02:54that it has got to be...
02:59It's either B or C,
03:00and I'm gonna just lean into my hope and say B.
03:05I really wish I'd seen Prince and Vanity Six in concert.
03:07That would be a great show.
03:08I loved Prince.
03:09You saw Scorpio.
03:10You did.
03:11You saw Scorpio.
03:11I saw the Scorpio.
03:12I saw the Scorpio.
03:12I saw the Scorpio for Bon Jovi.
03:13My first concert was
03:16A, David Bowie,
03:19B, Whitney Houston,
03:22or C, Duran Duran.
03:24Oh, man.
03:25This is such a hard one
03:26because I know that you are a big fan of all of those people.
03:28I'm gonna say Duran Duran.
03:29I know you love Duran Duran.
03:30I know you've recently seen Duran Duran.
03:32That was my third concert.
03:33Duran Duran was my third concert.
03:35Whitney Houston was my second concert.
03:36My first concert was David Bowie with Suzy and the Banshees.
03:39Oh, that's amazing.
03:41Oh, I'm very jealous.
03:42I'm very, very jealous of you.
03:43I once traveled to which country
03:45for the sole purpose of eating in a restaurant?
03:48A, France.
03:50B, Ireland.
03:52C, Sweden.
03:54Sweden!
03:55Yeah, damn it all the...
03:56Yeah, you did know that one.
03:58Organ meat.
03:58I want to play this game just in regular life.
04:01You went there and you ate like organ meats.
04:03Yes, pigeon liver,
04:05tiny little pigeon livers
04:06and like weird fermented things.
04:07My first job was at A, the school library.
04:12B, fabrics and things.
04:16Or C, Hoff's Hut restaurant hostess.
04:19Damn it all to hell.
04:24I want it to be fabrics and things.
04:26I just want it to be fabrics and things.
04:28Because you're a very crafty person.
04:30Even though it's probably not the answer,
04:31I'm going to stick with it.
04:31I'm getting a lot of nods out of you.
04:32No.
04:33I loved the ribbon so much.
04:35And I was so bad at it
04:37that when I would cut fabric,
04:38you'd get an extra like two feet
04:40because I just couldn't keep it straight.
04:42You're off.
04:42Which is an analogy for the rest of my life.
04:44I just couldn't keep it straight.
04:46So yes, it was fabrics.
04:48Oh my God, I can't believe I got that right.
04:49I have a tattoo of a constellation.
04:52Is it A, Virgo, B, Cassiopeia, or C, Ursa Major?
05:00I think it's Cassiopeia.
05:03That's a really good guess.
05:05Yeah, it's Ursa Major.
05:06Incorrect.
05:07It's Ursa Major.
05:08It's Ursa Major.
05:10Damn it.
05:11Damn it.
05:12I really hate A, carrots, B, truffles, or C, sparkling water.
05:20I'm going to go with truffles.
05:21I have a gag reflex to carrots.
05:24Raw carrots.
05:25Really?
05:25You can have roasted carrots.
05:27I go on a mission to try to eat carrots,
05:29but actually like raw carrots,
05:31like make me like great.
05:32I absolve you from any feeling of obligation
05:36to ever eat carrots.
05:37I don't know why you're on a mission to eat carrots.
05:38I feel like there are other vegetables
05:39in the vegetables.
05:39You see my I-class prescription?
05:42It's too late, Kirsten.
05:45My favorite food is A, pasta.
05:50B, french fries.
05:51C, wine, which I consider a food.
05:54Wine.
05:56C, I trick you there because it's definitely french fries.
05:59It is?
05:59It's french fries, yes.
06:01I didn't know that.
06:02To the point that if you order french fries
06:03and you look away,
06:04you will not have any french fries at the table.
06:06It's like a compulsion.
06:08We had all been talking and interacting
06:10and going out to dinner
06:11and doing all kinds of stuff
06:12while the show was away.
06:14But I just think everybody just came back
06:16like super fired up,
06:18even better at our jobs than we were before.
06:21And with this just joyfulness of like,
06:24we can't believe we get a second bite at this apple.
06:26So it's just been really easy and fun and electric.
06:31And then it went really fast.
06:33It was this weird mix of like new,
06:36but I know this,
06:37but you feel so completely safe
06:39with the people you're with.
06:40So for me,
06:42it just felt like,
06:43it felt like that.
06:44Because it is a different show,
06:46but it's the same show.
06:47We have a lady event.
06:49We do a lady event.
06:50Only.
06:50We do a lady event.
06:51It's called Hot Tub Wine Machine.
06:52And essentially just,
06:55it's just four girls drinking wine
06:56in a hot tub for a very long time.
06:58It's awesome.
06:59We've sat in that,
07:00which this I think is unusual
07:01in Hollywood in general.
07:03We've sat there and been like,
07:04how much do you get paid?
07:05How much do you get paid?
07:06We are girls, girls.
07:07And that is very important to me.
07:09And it's a value I hold.
07:11And I know Aisha holds the same.
07:13And like, we all hold that.
07:14So it's a really affirming place to be a lady.
07:18This has been Aisha Tyler and
07:19Kirsten Vangasness.
